Abstract

This anti-vibration device for an unmanned aircraft is configured by an anti-vibration rubber being interposed between the airframe body and legs of the unmanned aircraft which are connected to each other, the anti-vibration rubber being fixed to the airframe body and the legs by means of fixing members. As one example of the anti-vibration rubber, an anti-vibration mount having a rubber elastic body interposed between a plate provided on the airframe body and plates provided on legs may be used. As another example, an anti-vibration bushing having a cylindrical rubber elastic body interposed between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder may be used. As yet another example, an anti-vibration grommet having an annular mounting groove provided in the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical rubber elastic body may be used. The fixing members position the anti-vibration rubber in, for example, a direction which receives a vertical load component by shear deformation and a horizontal load component by compression/tensile deformation.

 昨今、所謂ドローンなどと称される小型の無人航空機が開発され、農薬散布や空中撮影の分野で活用されている。建築や土木の分野での検査や測量と云った新たな用途の開拓も進んでおり、機体制御などの関連技術も日々向上している。無人航空機は、市場規模を拡大しつつある。 Recently, small unmanned aerial vehicles called so-called drones have been developed and used in the fields of pesticide spraying and aerial photography. Development of new applications such as inspection and surveying in the field of construction and civil engineering is also progressing, and related technologies such as aircraft control are improving daily. The market for unmanned aerial vehicles is expanding.
 無人航空機は、機体本体と脚部から構成されている。機体本体は、受信機、フライトコントローラー、プロペラ、モーター、バッテリーなどの無人航空機を飛行させ制御するための機器を搭載している。機体本体は、無人航空機における脳の役割を担っている。農薬散布や空中撮影の分野ではポンプやカメラ等の用途機器がこの機体本体に搭載される。脚部は、無人航空機の離着陸時に機体本体を保護する目的で設けられている。 An unmanned aerial vehicle consists of a fuselage body and legs. The fuselage itself is equipped with equipment for flying and controlling unmanned aerial vehicles such as receivers, flight controllers, propellers, motors, and batteries. The fuselage body plays the role of the brain in unmanned aerial vehicles.

 無人航空機では、飛行時、風等の影響により脚部から機体本体に振動が伝わることで、用途機器の作動に影響を及ぼすことが懸念される。例えば撮影する映像にブレを生じさせたり、農薬散布領域にズレを生じさせたりすることが起こり得る。着陸時の衝撃で機体のバランスが崩れることで機体が転倒し、プロペラや用途機器が破損することも懸念事項の一つである。 In unmanned aerial vehicles, there is a concern that during flight, vibrations may be transmitted from the legs to the fuselage body due to the influence of wind or the like, thereby affecting the operation of the application equipment. For example, it may occur that the video to be photographed is blurred or the agricultural chemical spraying area is shifted. One of the concerns is that the aircraft will fall due to the impact of landing and the aircraft will fall, causing damage to the propellers and equipment.
 これらの懸念事項に対する対策として、無人航空機の脚部に金属製のコイルばねや積層ダンパーを設置することが考えられる。しかしながらコイルばねや積層ダンパーの設置は無人航空機の機体重量の極端な増加に繋がる。この種の対策を採用すると、機体重量のバランスの見直しが必要になるなど、新たな不都合を生じかねない。 As a countermeasure against these concerns, it is conceivable to install metal coil springs and laminated dampers on the legs of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, installation of coil springs and laminated dampers leads to an extreme increase in the weight of the unmanned aircraft. If this type of measure is adopted, new inconveniences may arise, such as the need to review the balance of the aircraft weight.
 本発明の課題は、脚部から機体本体に振動が伝わるのを抑制することができる無人航空機の防振装置を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a vibration isolator for an unmanned aerial vehicle that can suppress vibration from being transmitted from a leg portion to an airframe body.
 本発明の別の課題は、着陸時の衝撃を緩和することができる無人航空機の防振装置を提供することである。 Another object of the present invention is to provide an anti-vibration device for an unmanned aerial vehicle that can alleviate the impact at the time of landing.

Set the gap. The mounting bolt 35 is fitted in the shaft hole 25a of the third plate 25 with play. The three plates 15, 16, 25 and the two rubber elastic bodies 32, 33 constitute a set of elastic body units 32A.
 防振ゴム31である弾性体ユニット32Aは、無人航空機1の平面上に複数組配置され、無人航空機1の周辺に沿って複数組配置されている。 A plurality of elastic body units 32 </ b> A that are vibration-proof rubbers 31 are arranged on the plane of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, and a plurality of sets are arranged along the periphery of the unmanned aircraft 1.
 図4(A)に示す一例では、フレーム13,23は長方形の平面を有し、4組の弾性体ユニット32Aを4辺それぞれに沿わせ、4辺それぞれと平行な方向に向けて配置している。各弾性体ユニット32Aは、4辺それぞれの長手方向中央位置に配置されている。 In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the frames 13 and 23 have a rectangular plane, and four sets of elastic body units 32A are arranged along the four sides, and are arranged in directions parallel to the four sides. Yes. Each elastic body unit 32A is arranged at the center position in the longitudinal direction of each of the four sides.

It arrange | positions at equal intervals toward the direction parallel to a tangent along a tangent.
 上記構成の無人航空機1の防振装置101によれば、機体本体11と脚部21との間に挟まれて配置される防振ゴム31のゴム材質による防振・緩衝作用が発揮されるため、脚部21から機体本体11への振動の伝達を抑制することができる。無人航空機1の着陸時の衝撃が脚部21から機体本体11へ伝わることも抑制することができる。 According to the vibration isolator 101 of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 having the above-described configuration, the vibration isolating / buffering action of the anti-vibration rubber 31 disposed between the airframe body 11 and the leg portion 21 is exhibited. The transmission of vibration from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11 can be suppressed. It is also possible to suppress the impact at the time of landing of the unmanned aircraft 1 from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11.
 本実施の形態では、防振ゴム31は、円筒形のゴム弾性体32,33を備える防振マウント121によって形成されている。このような構造の防振ゴム31は、コイルばねや積層ダンパーと比較して軽量であり、無人航空機1の重量が極端に増加するのを抑制する。 In the present embodiment, the anti-vibration rubber 31 is formed by an anti-vibration mount 121 including cylindrical rubber elastic bodies 32 and 33. The anti-vibration rubber 31 having such a structure is lighter than a coil spring or a laminated damper, and suppresses an excessive increase in the weight of the unmanned aircraft 1.
 図6に示すように、防振ゴム31によるゴム弾性は、垂直成分Dおよび水平成分Dに分けられる。垂直成分Dについては、無人航空機1の飛行時、風等の影響による脚部起因の振動を絶縁するために、比較的低バネの特性であることが好ましい。水平成分Dについては、無人航空機1の着陸時、飛行慣性力の水平成分等での転倒防止および機体本体11への衝撃入力緩和を両立するために、比較的高バネの特性であることが好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 6, the rubber elasticity by anti-vibration rubber 31 is divided into a vertical component D 1 and the horizontal component D 2. The vertical component D 1 preferably has a relatively low spring characteristic in order to insulate vibration caused by the leg due to the influence of wind or the like during the flight of the unmanned aircraft 1. That for the horizontal component D 2, during landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, in order to achieve both anti-tip and shock inputs relaxation to machine body 11 in the horizontal component or the like flying an inertial force, which is characteristic of relatively high spring preferable.
 この点、上記構成の防振ゴム31は、その中心軸線Oが水平方向に向けて配置されることにより、無人航空機1における垂直方向の荷重成分を防振ゴム31のせん断変形で受け、無人航空機1における水平方向の荷重成分を防振ゴム31の圧縮・引張り変形で受けるよう配置されている。その結果垂直方向の荷重は、防振ゴム31のせん断変形による比較的低バネの特性で受け止められる。水平方向の荷重は、防振ゴム31の圧縮・引張り変形による比較的高バネの特性で受け止められる。 In this respect, the anti-vibration rubber 31 having the above configuration receives the load component in the vertical direction in the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 due to the shear deformation of the anti-vibration rubber 31 when the central axis O is arranged in the horizontal direction. 1 is arranged to receive the horizontal load component in 1 by compression / tensile deformation of the vibration-proof rubber 31. As a result, the load in the vertical direction is received with the characteristics of a relatively low spring due to the shear deformation of the vibration-proof rubber 31. The load in the horizontal direction is received with a relatively high spring characteristic due to the compression / tensile deformation of the vibration-proof rubber 31.
 したがって防振ゴム31は、垂直方向の荷重を防振ゴム31のせん断変形による比較的低バネの特性で受け止めるため、無人航空機1の飛行時、風等の影響による脚部21から機体本体11への振動を絶縁する。その一方で防振ゴム31は、水平方向の荷重を防振ゴム31の圧縮・引張り変形による比較的高バネの特性で受け止めるため、無人航空機1の着陸時、機体本体11へ入力される衝撃を緩和し、飛行慣性力の水平成分の作用による無人航空機1の転倒を抑制する。 Accordingly, the vibration isolating rubber 31 receives the load in the vertical direction with a relatively low spring characteristic due to the shear deformation of the vibration isolating rubber 31, so that when the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 flies, the leg 21 is affected by wind and the like from the leg 21 to the body body 11. Insulates vibrations. On the other hand, the anti-vibration rubber 31 receives a load in the horizontal direction with a relatively high spring characteristic due to the compression / tensile deformation of the anti-vibration rubber 31. Mitigates and prevents the unmanned aircraft 1 from being overturned by the action of the horizontal component of the flight inertia force.
 上記垂直成分Dについては、無人航空機1の着陸時、機体本体11へ入力される衝撃を緩和してクッション性を確保するため、荷重が加わる初期段階でのバネ特性を比較的低バネの特性とすることが好ましい。この点については、円筒形のゴム弾性体32,33の内周面に突起を付加して初期荷重をこの突起で受け止めることにより、荷重が加わる初期段階での低バネの特性を実現することが可能である。 For the vertical component D 1, during landing of the unmanned aircraft 1, in order to ensure cushioning to reduce impact is input to the machine body 11, a relatively low spring characteristics the spring characteristics at the initial stage of load is applied It is preferable that With respect to this point, by adding a protrusion to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical rubber elastic bodies 32 and 33 and receiving the initial load with this protrusion, it is possible to realize the characteristics of a low spring in the initial stage where the load is applied. Is possible.
 図7(A)に示すように、円筒形のゴム弾性体32,33の内周面32c,33cは、通常、円筒面状である。本実施の形態では、図7(B)に示すように、円筒形のゴム弾性体32の内周面32c,33cに突起37が付加されている。詳しくは、円筒形のゴム弾性体32の内周面32c,33cから径方向内方へ向けて突出する断面円弧形の突起37が複数個(図7(B)では8個)、均等間隔で配列されている。防振ゴム31は、突起37を持つ構造によっても、荷重が加わる初期段階での低バネの特性を実現している。 As shown in FIG. 7A, the inner peripheral surfaces 32c and 33c of the cylindrical rubber elastic bodies 32 and 33 are generally cylindrical. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, protrusions 37 are added to the inner peripheral surfaces 32c and 33c of the cylindrical rubber elastic body 32. More specifically, a plurality of circular arc-shaped projections 37 (eight in FIG. 7B) projecting radially inward from the inner peripheral surfaces 32c and 33c of the cylindrical rubber elastic body 32 are equally spaced. Are arranged in The anti-vibration rubber 31 also has a low spring characteristic at the initial stage where a load is applied, even with the structure having the protrusion 37.
 上記構成の防振装置101は、機体本体11側のプレート15,16と脚部21側のプレート25とをボルト35およびナット36を介して結合している。このような結合構造は、フェールセーフ機構131を構成する。このフェールセーフ機構131は、防振ゴム32が万一破断することがあっても、機体本体11と脚部21との結合を維持し、機体本体11からの脚部21の脱落を防止する。 The anti-vibration device 101 having the above-described configuration combines the plates 15 and 16 on the body body 11 side and the plate 25 on the leg 21 side via bolts 35 and nuts 36. Such a coupling structure constitutes a fail-safe mechanism 131. The fail-safe mechanism 131 maintains the connection between the main body 11 and the leg 21 even if the vibration isolating rubber 32 is broken, and prevents the leg 21 from falling off the main body 11.

 防振ブッシュ41は、外筒42を、機体本体11のフレーム13に設けた取付孔17に嵌合させ、フレーム13に固定している。外筒42は、固定用の部材111を構成する。フレーム13への防振ブッシュ41の固定は、例えば取付孔17への外筒42の圧入、溶接などの手法によって実現可能である。防振ブッシュ41は、内筒43を、ボルト45およびナット46の組み合わせを用いて、脚部21のフレーム23にボルト止めしている。ボルト45およびナット46は、固定用の部材111を構成する。このような構造によって防振ブッシュ41は、機体本体11および脚部21のそれぞれに固定されている。 The anti-vibration bush 41 is fixed to the frame 13 by fitting the outer cylinder 42 into the mounting hole 17 provided in the frame 13 of the main body 11. The outer cylinder 42 constitutes a fixing member 111. The anti-vibration bush 41 can be fixed to the frame 13 by a technique such as press fitting of the outer cylinder 42 into the mounting hole 17 or welding. The anti-vibration bush 41 has the inner cylinder 43 bolted to the frame 23 of the leg portion 21 using a combination of a bolt 45 and a nut 46. The bolt 45 and the nut 46 constitute a fixing member 111. With such a structure, the anti-vibration bush 41 is fixed to each of the main body 11 and the legs 21.
 防振ゴム31である防振ブッシュ41は、無人航空機1の平面上に複数個配置され、無人航空機1の周辺に沿って複数個配置されている。 A plurality of anti-vibration bushes 41 that are anti-vibration rubbers 31 are arranged on the plane of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 and are arranged along the periphery of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1.
 図10に示す一例では、フレーム13,23は長方形の平面形状を有し、4組の防振ブッシュ41を4隅のそれぞれに配置している。図11に示す一例では、いずれか一方または双方のフレーム13,23は円形の平面形状を有し、複数組(図11では3組)の防振ブッシュ41を円周上に均等間隔で配列している。 In the example shown in FIG. 10, the frames 13 and 23 have a rectangular planar shape, and four sets of anti-vibration bushes 41 are arranged at each of the four corners. In one example shown in FIG. 11, one or both of the frames 13 and 23 have a circular planar shape, and a plurality of sets (three sets in FIG. 11) of anti-vibration bushes 41 are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference. ing.
 上記構成の無人航空機1に設けられた防振装置101によれば、機体本体11と脚部21との間に挟まれて配置される防振ブッシュ41が有するゴム弾性体44のゴム材質による防振・緩衝作用が発揮されるため、脚部21から機体本体11への振動の伝達を抑制することができる。無人航空機1の着陸時の衝撃が脚部21から機体本体11へ伝わることも抑制することができる。 According to the vibration isolator 101 provided in the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 having the above-described configuration, the rubber elastic body 44 having a rubber elastic body 44 included in the vibration isolating bush 41 disposed between the airframe main body 11 and the leg portion 21 is provided with a rubber material. Since the vibration / buffer action is exhibited, the transmission of vibration from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11 can be suppressed. It is also possible to suppress the impact at the time of landing of the unmanned aircraft 1 from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11.
 防振ブッシュ41は円筒形状であるため、水平方向の全ての入力に対して同じ剛性で入力を受けることが可能である。防振ブッシュ41は径方向の弾性が高いため、水平方向の衝撃の緩和に有利である。よって無人航空機1の着陸時に、無人航空機1の姿勢が安定しやすく、転倒による各部の破損を回避することが可能である。 Since the anti-vibration bush 41 has a cylindrical shape, it is possible to receive inputs with the same rigidity for all inputs in the horizontal direction. Since the anti-vibration bush 41 has high radial elasticity, it is advantageous for mitigating horizontal impacts. Therefore, when the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is landed, the attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is easily stabilized, and it is possible to avoid breakage of each part due to a fall.
 本実施の形態の防振ゴム31は、外筒42および内筒43と、円筒形のゴム弾性体44とを組み合わせた防振ブッシュ41によって形成されている。このような構造の防振ブッシュ41は、コイルばねや積層ダンパーと比較して軽量であり、無人航空機1の重量が極端に増加するのを抑制する。 The anti-vibration rubber 31 of the present embodiment is formed by an anti-vibration bush 41 that combines an outer cylinder 42 and an inner cylinder 43 and a cylindrical rubber elastic body 44. The anti-vibration bush 41 having such a structure is lighter than a coil spring or a laminated damper, and suppresses an excessive increase in the weight of the unmanned aircraft 1.
 本実施の形態の防振ゴム31は、垂直方向の荷重をゴム弾性体44のせん断変形による比較的低バネの特性で受け止める。このため無人航空機1の飛行時、風等の影響による脚部21から機体本体11への振動が絶縁されやすい。その一方で防振ゴム31は、水平方向の荷重をゴム弾性体44の圧縮・引張り変形による比較的高バネの特性で受け止める。このため無人航空機1の着陸時、機体本体11へ入力される衝撃が緩和され、飛行慣性力の水平成分の作用による無人航空機1の転倒が抑制される。 The anti-vibration rubber 31 of the present embodiment receives a load in the vertical direction with a relatively low spring characteristic due to shear deformation of the rubber elastic body 44. For this reason, during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, vibration from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11 due to the influence of wind or the like is easily insulated. On the other hand, the anti-vibration rubber 31 receives a load in the horizontal direction with a relatively high spring characteristic due to compression / tensile deformation of the rubber elastic body 44. For this reason, when the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is landed, the impact input to the fuselage main body 11 is mitigated, and the unmanned aircraft 1 is prevented from falling due to the action of the horizontal component of the flight inertia force.
 図12は、第2実施の形態の変形例を示す。本例は、内筒43の上端部にフランジ状の係合部47を設け、その外径を外筒42の内径よりも大きく設定している。この構造は、フェールセーフ機構132を構成する。このフェールセーフ機構132は、ゴム弾性体44が破断したとき、フランジ状の係合部47を外筒42に係合させ、機体本体11からの脚部21の落下を停止させる。フェールセーフ機構132は、機体本体11と脚部21との結合を維持し、機体本体11からの脚部21の脱落を防止するフェールセーフ機能を発揮する。 FIG. 12 shows a modification of the second embodiment. In this example, a flange-like engagement portion 47 is provided at the upper end portion of the inner cylinder 43, and its outer diameter is set larger than the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 42. This structure constitutes a fail-safe mechanism 132. When the rubber elastic body 44 is broken, the fail-safe mechanism 132 engages the flange-shaped engaging portion 47 with the outer cylinder 42 and stops the fall of the leg portion 21 from the body body 11. The fail-safe mechanism 132 exhibits a fail-safe function that maintains the connection between the main body 11 and the leg portion 21 and prevents the leg portion 21 from falling off the main body 11.
 第2実施の形態の別の変形例としては、防振ゴム31である防振ブッシュ41を90度回転させた状態で配置するようにしてもよい。上記したように、第2実施の形態では、中心軸線Oを垂直方向に向けた状態で、機体本体11と脚部21間との間に防振ブッシュ41を介在させている。これに対して第1実施の形態と同様に、防振ブッシュ41の中心軸線Oを水平方向に向けた状態で機体本体11と脚部21との間に介在させるようにしてもよい。 As another modification of the second embodiment, the vibration isolating bush 41, which is the vibration isolating rubber 31, may be arranged in a state rotated by 90 degrees. As described above, in the second embodiment, the anti-vibration bush 41 is interposed between the body body 11 and the leg portion 21 with the central axis O directed in the vertical direction. On the other hand, as in the first embodiment, the center axis O of the anti-vibration bush 41 may be interposed between the body body 11 and the leg portion 21 in the horizontal direction.

 第3実施の形態を図13ないし図17に基づいて説明する。第1及び第2実施の形態と同一部分は適宜同一符号で示し、説明も省略する。
[Third Embodiment]
A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The same parts as those in the first and second embodiments are appropriately denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is also omitted.
 図13に示すように、本実施の形態の無人航空機1は、機体本体11および機体本体11に連結される脚部21を備える小型の無人航空機である。機体本体11は、受信機、フライトコントローラー、プロペラ、モーター、バッテリーなど無人航空機を飛行させ制御するための機器を搭載している。図1は、プロペラ12と、機体本体11のフレーム13とを示している。脚部21は、無人航空機1の離着陸時に機体本体11を保護するために、機体本体11を安定的に支持する。図1は、フレーム23と接地部24とを示している。無人航空機1は無人マルチコプターもしくは無人回転翼機とも称され、所謂ドローンなどとも称される。 As shown in FIG. 13, the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment is a small unmanned aerial vehicle including a body body 11 and leg portions 21 connected to the body body 11. The airframe body 11 is equipped with equipment for flying and controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle such as a receiver, a flight controller, a propeller, a motor, and a battery. FIG. 1 shows a propeller 12 and a frame 13 of the fuselage main body 11. The legs 21 stably support the airframe body 11 in order to protect the airframe body 11 when the unmanned aircraft 1 takes off and landing. FIG. 1 shows the frame 23 and the grounding portion 24. The unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is also referred to as an unmanned multicopter or an unmanned rotorcraft, and is also referred to as a so-called drone.
 機体本体11および脚部21は、直接連結されるのではなく、防振装置101が有する防振ゴム31を介して互いに弾性的に連結されている。防振ゴム31は、互いに連結される無人航空機1の機体本体11と脚部21との間に介在している。防振装置101は、固定用の部材111を有している。固定用の部材111は、防振ゴム31を機体本体11側と脚部21側とに固定する。 The machine body 11 and the leg 21 are not directly connected but elastically connected to each other via a vibration isolating rubber 31 included in the vibration isolating apparatus 101. The anti-vibration rubber 31 is interposed between the fuselage body 11 and the legs 21 of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 connected to each other. The vibration isolator 101 has a fixing member 111. The fixing member 111 fixes the anti-vibration rubber 31 to the body body 11 side and the leg portion 21 side.
 図14および図15に示すように、防振ゴム31は、円筒形のゴム弾性体52の外周面に環状の取付溝53を設けた防振グロメット51を構成している。グロメット51は、カラー54およびワッシャ55とともに、機体本体11と脚部21との間に組み付けられている。カラー54は、ゴム弾性体52の下端に配置され、内周に差し込まれている。ワッシャ55は、ゴム弾性体52の上端に配置されている。ワッシャ55は、ゴム弾性体52の内周に差し込まれたカラー54に押し当てられる。 14 and 15, the anti-vibration rubber 31 constitutes an anti-vibration grommet 51 in which an annular mounting groove 53 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical rubber elastic body 52. The grommet 51 is assembled between the body body 11 and the leg portion 21 together with the collar 54 and the washer 55. The collar 54 is disposed at the lower end of the rubber elastic body 52 and is inserted into the inner periphery. The washer 55 is disposed at the upper end of the rubber elastic body 52. The washer 55 is pressed against the collar 54 inserted into the inner periphery of the rubber elastic body 52.
 防振グロメット51は、その中心軸線Oを垂直方向に向けた状態で機体本体11と脚部21とに固定され、これらの機体本体11と脚部21との間に介在している。 The anti-vibration grommet 51 is fixed to the main body 11 and the leg 21 with the central axis O directed in the vertical direction, and is interposed between the main body 11 and the leg 21.
 防振グロメット51を機体本体11に固定する固定用の部材111は、取付溝53である。防振グロメット51は、ゴム弾性体52の外周面に設けた環状の取付溝53を機体本体11のフレーム13に設けた取付孔17の開口周縁部17aに係合する。この係合は、機体本体11と防振グロメット51とを固定する。 The fixing member 111 for fixing the vibration isolating grommet 51 to the main body 11 is the mounting groove 53. The anti-vibration grommet 51 engages an opening peripheral portion 17 a of the mounting hole 17 provided in the frame 13 of the machine body 11 with an annular mounting groove 53 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rubber elastic body 52. This engagement fixes the main body 11 and the vibration isolating grommet 51.
 防振グロメット51を脚部21に固定する固定用の部材111は、ボルト56である。防振グロメット51は、防振ブッシュ41とともにカラー54およびワッシャ55を脚部21のフレーム23にボルト56で締結する。 The fixing member 111 that fixes the vibration isolating grommet 51 to the leg portion 21 is a bolt 56. The anti-vibration grommet 51 fastens the collar 54 and the washer 55 together with the anti-vibration bush 41 to the frame 23 of the leg portion 21 with bolts 56.
 防振ゴム31である防振グロメット51は、無人航空機1の平面上に複数個配置され、無人航空機1の周辺に沿って複数個配置されている。 A plurality of anti-vibration grommets 51 that are anti-vibration rubbers 31 are arranged on the plane of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 and are arranged along the periphery of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1.
 図16に示す一例では、フレーム13,23は長方形の平面形状を有し、4組の防振グロメット51を4隅のそれぞれに配置している。図17に示す一例では、いずれか一方または双方のフレーム13,23は円形の平面形状を有し、複数組(図17では3組)の防振グロメット51を円周上に均等間隔で配列している。 In the example shown in FIG. 16, the frames 13 and 23 have a rectangular planar shape, and four sets of anti-vibration grommets 51 are arranged at each of the four corners. In one example shown in FIG. 17, one or both of the frames 13 and 23 have a circular planar shape, and a plurality of sets (three sets in FIG. 17) of anti-vibration grommets 51 are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference. ing.
 上記構成の無人航空機1に設けられた防振装置101によれば、機体本体11と脚部21との間に挟まれて配置される防振グロメット51が有するゴム弾性体52のゴム材質による防振・緩衝作用が発揮されるため、脚部21から機体本体11への振動の伝達を抑制することができる。無人航空機1の着陸時の衝撃が脚部21から機体本体11へ伝わることも抑制することができる。 According to the vibration isolator 101 provided in the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 having the above-described configuration, the rubber elastic body 52 of the rubber elastic body 52 included in the vibration isolating grommet 51 disposed between the airframe main body 11 and the leg portion 21 is prevented by the rubber material. Since the vibration / buffer action is exhibited, the transmission of vibration from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11 can be suppressed. It is also possible to suppress the impact at the time of landing of the unmanned aircraft 1 from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11.
 防振グロメット51は円筒形状であるため、水平方向の全ての入力に対して同じ剛性で入力を受けることが可能である。防振グロメット51は径方向の弾性が高いため、水平方向の衝撃の緩和に有利である。よって無人航空機1の着陸時に、無人航空機1の姿勢が安定しやすく、転倒による各部の破損を回避することが可能である。 Since the anti-vibration grommet 51 has a cylindrical shape, it is possible to receive inputs with the same rigidity for all inputs in the horizontal direction. Since the vibration-proof grommet 51 has high radial elasticity, it is advantageous for mitigating horizontal impact. Therefore, when the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is landed, the attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is easily stabilized, and it is possible to avoid breakage of each part due to a fall.
 本実施の形態の防振ゴム31は、円筒形のゴム弾性体52の外周面に環状の取付溝53を設けた防振グロメット51によって形成されている。このような構造の防振グロメット51は、コイルばねや積層ダンパーと比較して軽量であり、無人航空機1の重量が極端に増加するのを抑制する。 The anti-vibration rubber 31 of the present embodiment is formed by an anti-vibration grommet 51 in which an annular mounting groove 53 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical rubber elastic body 52. The anti-vibration grommet 51 having such a structure is lighter than a coil spring or a laminated damper, and suppresses an excessive increase in the weight of the unmanned aircraft 1.
 本実施の形態の防振ゴム31は、垂直方向の荷重をゴム弾性体52のせん断変形による比較的低バネの特性で受け止める。このため無人航空機1の飛行時、風等の影響による脚部21から機体本体11への振動が絶縁されやすい。その一方で防振ゴム31は、水平方向の荷重をゴム弾性体52の圧縮・引張り変形による比較的高バネの特性で受け止める。このため無人航空機1の着陸時、機体本体11へ入力される衝撃が緩和され、飛行慣性力の水平成分の作用による無人航空機1の転倒が抑制される。 The anti-vibration rubber 31 according to the present embodiment receives a load in the vertical direction with a relatively low spring characteristic due to shear deformation of the rubber elastic body 52. For this reason, during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, vibration from the leg portion 21 to the body body 11 due to the influence of wind or the like is easily insulated. On the other hand, the anti-vibration rubber 31 receives the load in the horizontal direction with a relatively high spring characteristic due to the compression / tensile deformation of the rubber elastic body 52. For this reason, when the unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is landed, the impact input to the fuselage main body 11 is mitigated, and the unmanned aircraft 1 is prevented from falling due to the action of the horizontal component of the flight inertia force.
 図14に示すように、本実施の形態の防振装置101では、防振グロメット51のワッシャ55の外径は、取付溝53の内径、つまり機体本体11のフレーム13に設けた取付孔17の内径よりも大きく設定されている。この寸法設定は、フェールセーフ機構133を構成する。このフェールセーフ機構133は、ゴム弾性体52が破断したとき、取付孔17の開口周縁部17aをワッシャ55に係合させ、機体本体11からの脚部21の落下を停止させる。フェールセーフ機構133は、機体本体11と脚部21との結合を維持し、機体本体11からの脚部21の脱落を防止するフェールセーフ機能を発揮する。 As shown in FIG. 14, in the vibration isolator 101 of the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the washer 55 of the vibration isolating grommet 51 is the inner diameter of the mounting groove 53, that is, the mounting hole 17 provided in the frame 13 of the body body 11. It is set larger than the inner diameter. This dimension setting constitutes a fail-safe mechanism 133. When the rubber elastic body 52 is broken, the fail-safe mechanism 133 engages the opening peripheral edge portion 17a of the mounting hole 17 with the washer 55, and stops the fall of the leg portion 21 from the body body 11. The fail-safe mechanism 133 maintains a connection between the body body 11 and the leg portion 21 and exhibits a fail-safe function that prevents the leg portion 21 from falling off the body body 11.
 第3実施の形態の変形例としては、防振ゴム31である防振グロメット51を90度回転させた状態で配置するようにしてもよい。上記したように、第3実施の形態では、中心軸線Oを垂直方向に向けた状態で、機体本体11と脚部21間との間に防振グロメット51を介在させている。これに対して第1実施の形態と同様に、防振グロメット51の中心軸線Oを水平方向に向けた状態で機体本体11と脚部21との間に介在させるようにしてもよい。 As a modification of the third embodiment, the anti-vibration grommet 51 that is the anti-vibration rubber 31 may be arranged in a state rotated by 90 degrees. As described above, in the third embodiment, the anti-vibration grommet 51 is interposed between the body body 11 and the leg portion 21 with the central axis O directed in the vertical direction. On the other hand, similarly to the first embodiment, the vibration isolation grommet 51 may be interposed between the main body 11 and the leg portion 21 with the central axis O of the antivibration grommet 51 oriented in the horizontal direction.
